This easy-to-read four-card layout is one of the most useful of all the layouts. The first rune is the significator, and the last shows the outcome, provided that the advice given is followed. The advice is broken down into two runes which can easily be compared and contrasted. Rune #2 suggests what to avoid, while #3 shows the path to take.
This layout can also be used to ask about the meaning of a rune from a previously executed layout that may have been unclear. In this usage, Rune #2 shows what it did not mean, while #3 clarifies the meaning.
